Recommended Journals/Magazines for Aesthetic Professionals
Staying up to date with the latest clinical developments, business trends and regulatory news is essential in the rapidly evolving field of medical aesthetics.
Here are four highly respected publications that we regularly read in the Inspired Cosmetic Training office!
- The PMFA Journal
The PMFA Journal (Plastic, Maxillofacial & Aesthetic Surgery Journal) is a print and digital publication bringing together the worlds of plastic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, aesthetic medicine, and dermatology.
With contributions from a broad range of multidisciplinary experts, from trainees to senior clinicians, it covers surgical procedures, non-surgical techniques, regulation, ethics, professional development and patient safety.
Because it is independent and non-affiliated, the PMFA Journal offers a balanced platform for discussion and debate across the entire scope of aesthetic medicine.

- Consulting Room Magazine
Consulting Room publishes a free, quarterly digital magazine that’s CPD-certified.
Each issue has a specific theme (e.g., complications management, skin health, business growth) and features expert-written articles from thought leaders in the field.
There are also downloadable CPD Reflective Forms, developed in partnership with BCAM (British College of Aesthetic Medicine) and BAMAN (British Association of Medical Aesthetic Nurses), so you can document your learning.
The magazine is tailored to both aesthetic practitioners and clinic business owners.

The Aesthetics Journal is one of the UK’s leading educational resources in non-surgical aesthetics. Published monthly, it provides a mix of clinical content, CPD-accredited articles, business insight and real-time industry news.
Its articles are peer-reviewed by a dedicated reviewing panel, ensuring that the content is both clinically relevant and rigorously vetted.

- Aesthetic Medicine Magazine
The Aesthetic Medicine Magazine (UK) offers more of a business and practice-focused perspective. On its website, it delivers industry news, features on injectables, device updates and business insights.
The content is written for an audience of aesthetic doctors, nurses, dentists, clinic managers and other practitioners, providing actionable intelligence for running a successful clinic.
The editorial board is made up of well-known, experienced clinicians — meaning that the magazine reflects the real concerns and clinical challenges that matter in day-to-day practice.
